Windows Vista Program Compatibility

This list was compiled by ENS during unofficial testing ending in March 2007, using the most current versions of the software that were available. It is possible that there are now patches or new versions released of these software packages that do provide full Vista compatibility.

Only two criteria granted inclusion in this list: Failure to install properly, or failure to provide full program functionality upon program initialization. No further testing was performed aside from installation and running the program(s). Notes in parentheses indicate special cases.
